Queen Street Mill Textile Museum
Interior
Queen Street Mill is unique as it survives today with a lot of its original machinery. It is unlikely that the Queen Street Manufacturing Company could have afforded to buy new machines, especially during the later years when much of the textile business moved abroad.
Although some alterations have been made to the interior of the building to allow it to function as a Museum, the mill remains largely unchanged. Visitors to the boiler house, engine house and weaving shed can see these areas presented much as they would have been 100 years ago – though a good deal cleaner! The weaving shed is now a third of its original size, though what remains is authentic with fully working line shafting connected by traditional leather belts to 308 Victorian Lancashire looms.
